Chunky! The candy bar that makes you Chunky!

You know, I love chocolate, and I love raisins (sorry, Todd) and I love chocolate-covered raisins, and I love the raisin -studded Chunky candy bar, reviewed here on Candy Addict as a "retro candy."

But I have to wonder...what were they thinking with the name? Chunky? It's like naming your sub shop Blimpie.

Anyway, the good folks at Candy Addict feel sorry for the sadly ignored Chunky, sitting there in its weird shape and its olde timey silver wrapper, always available at 7-Eleven or Walgreen's but never hanging out in the prime spot in your office vending machine. It's the name, I'm tellin' ya, the name.
